Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 New Orleans : Official ThreadDef. no changing tents for a 70.3. Just wear the same thing the whole race. Trying to switch out clothes, especially when you're wet is a pain. Tri top and shorts.
If there's a concern about being uncomfortable on the bike you can always throw a pair of bike shorts on top of your tri shorts for extra padding and just slip them off after you get to T2.
Just make sure to bring lube (Aquaphor/ Body Glide/ Tri Slide/ etc. ) and use it generously... everywhere! It's going to be hot and humid down there and things will chafe that you never expected to chafe if you don't prepare for it. Oh! And don't forget the waterproof sunscreen!
